Narciso, the origin of the myth

"Every time (...) that I kiss the clear wave, every time it reaches out to me, offering its mouth. You would say it can be touched; it is a nothing that is opposed to our love. Whoever you are, come out! Why are you deluding me, only child in the world? Where do you go while I want you? ”. From The Metamorphoses, Ovid.

Following the antique mythology, Narciso was the child of Cefiso and nymph Liriope. Unsensible to love, he doesn’t return the overwhelming passion of Eco, for which he was punished from goddess Nemesi who made him in love with his own image reflected in a source. He died consumed from an evanescent passion which transformed him in a flower.
